Does anyone think we should sit Shaq down from the starting lineup for a few games and start Sanders? Something like: "Hey Shaq, we're going to bring you off the bench. If you play assertively, you'll stay on the court. If not, you're going to sit back down." It's now 2+ years that we've...

It would've been nice if he came back and we continued to develop him but all season, I was concerned about his motor (or lack thereof). I know some people look different than others but I just got the impression that he was not getting after it the way our players are expected to in the way of...

What are the odds both Thomas and Lawrence start for most of next year? Or, are they both 3 spot guys?

Other than it sucking that we're not in the Big East and/or MSG for the tournament, I don't think hoops is too bad. I would hope we step up our out of conference schedule a bit. Football...ugh

Feels like we are screwed. I just read the Pac-12, Big 12, Big 10 and now the ACC all have Grants of Rights. Hadn't heard that term before but it sounds like it makes the schools within those conference fairly worthless to a new conference (at least for the duration of the TV deal). With...

We are damaged by a mid-market city being cannibalized by Xavier fans within the city. Then outside the city, there are just so many good universities with a large following: -OSU -Lousville -Indiana -Kentucky -Those catholics love ND -And there's even Dayton, Miami, OU, etc. Whit's right to...

I think it is in our best interests for Chris Mack to stay at X as long as possible. Honestly, why is he a candidate anywhere. His players last year were good (but those were Miller's players). Additionally, they were huge assholes and Mack couldn't or didn't try to contain them. There was...

The conference is saved http://news.cincinnati.com/viewart/20130402/SPT01/304020036/Tulsa-formally-accepts-Big-East-s-invitation?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|UC

Do we know who else is in the Jimmy V classic?

OK. So Smart and Stevens both declined. Here is the original list (which may or may not be accurate) Coaches Potentially on UCLA's list • Brad Stevens, Butler • Shaka Smart, VCU • Rick Pitino, Louisville • Billy Donovan, Florida • Randy Bennett, Saint Mary's • Lorenzo Romar, Washington •...

I dislike X as much as the next UC fan but Gillen and Prosser were stand-up guys and good coaches. Matta and Miller were excellent coaches...maybe they exited XU in a poor manner but what do I care about that? Chris Mack appears to be a dbag. Honestly, if Matta or Miller were my coach, I'd be...

I think SK is a pure shooter that's incorporating other elements into his game. He was great his freshman and sophomore year. He just shot poorly this year and I think a lot of that was due to failure for him to get open and better looks...and the lack of other options that allowed defenses to...

http://cincinnati.com/blogs/uc/2013/03/25/putting-ucs-shooting-into-perspective/ Tough to go deep in the tournament with a shooting percentage like ours. The Cats really need to focus on taking good shots next year and getting open looks for our best players. Sean clearly didn't have as many...

I don't see Mick's post-game press conferences in the wake of a loss going over real well in a large market city.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/blog/_/name/katz_andy/id/9094778/ucla-fires-ben-howland-begins-search-replace-college-basketball Cronin's name is being mentioned. Probably just speculation. I (1) don't see UCLA having Cronin as a top choice, or (2) Mick ultimately leaving for it...

And on offense, the answer should be attack attack attack. They don't play D very well, we have speed on them. Cash, Park and SK should be trying to go to the hole and beating them to the hoop. Push it...get in the lane...kick out sometimes to SK, JP and Cash for 3s.

Versus Creighton, if we get up in their grill in tight extended man that covers the 3-point line, and box out. I like the chances. If I'm Mick, I start with Rubles on DMcD...tell him that is his main job. I spell him with Jackson/Thomas. The important thing is that is the players main focus...

No ball handler to break the press is my only problem. I do agree that you've got our best players with the most height/length in there. But we're going to need a reliable dribbler in there whether it's Guyn, JDIII or one of the new guys.

What about SK mdc?

I'd love to say that too but the only footage I've seen of Strickland is him in an early high school game and doing a clumsy dunk. Hopefully, he's good enough to start but (unless I'm wrong) I think the only trush frosh that's started of late is Lance. I just don't see anyone getting the nod...
